High Protein Bean & Lentil Dip

High Protein Bean & Lentil Dip

The perfect dip to add in your Buddha bowl. Why? It’s full of protein and fiber that will fill up your belly, keep you full for a while and that blood sugar in tact. This is so creamy you’ll think there is dairy in it but I assure you it’s vegan and tasty!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1/2 cup dried red lentils
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans, drained and rinsed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
INSTRUCTIONS:

Transfer the lentils into a small sauce pan and cover them with enough water by about 2 to 3 inches. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about or until thoroughly cooked.

Transfer the cooked lentils into your food processor and add in all remaining ingredients. Blend until creamy and smooth. Feel free to add in a little bit of fresh lemon juice if you want a more tart taste to the dip.

Serve the dip with roasted vegetables, with crackers or in your favourite Buddha bowl with other veggies. I served mine with steamed carrots, purple cabbage, sweet potatoes, side salad and some basmati rice.

  • 2 teaspoons of ground thyme and oregano
  • 2 tablespoons white miso, dissolved in warm water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped finely

Preheat your oven to 425°. Rub the chickpeas between two clean dish cloths. Transfer the chickpeas to a baking dish and mix in ground thyme, and oregano. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.

During the last five minutes, placed the focaccia squares into the oven to warm up. In a small food processor, add in the white miso and sweet potatoes. Blend until smooth.

To prepare the tzatziki, squeeze the shredded cucumber in a clean dish cloth to remove excess moisture. Place in a small bowl, add the minced garlic, fresh dill, and yogurt. Sprinkle in a little bit of salt and pepper. Add in one teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well until fully incorporated. It should be thick and creamy.

To assemble, place the focaccia squares on a plate. Top with sweet potatoes, shredded crispy red cabbage. Add in the crispy chickpeas. Top with some tzatziki, and then sprinkle on some chopped parsley.
